Submission for Magnolia Design Team

Once upon a time on my old blog, which no longer works, I was very active with stamping.  I was once a design team member for a stamping company.  My time with them ended and off I went on other adventures.  I recently began, however, stamping again in a different way.  I have been enjoying making mail art which is decorating envelopes into mini pieces of art.  I also love the Tilda stamps from Magnolia Stamps.  I began coloring again using my copic markers and fell in love all over again with the stamps and markers.  So, Magnolia team, here is my submission.  I am also including two other stamps I colored.  I see I didn't color the flowers on the Japanese girl, but I don't think that takes away from her at all.  A huge thank you to my fellow Dork Sister, Peggysue, for telling me of the DT call.


I made a sign and used that as the place for the address and drew in a river, some trees and tufts of grass.

I added some flowers and yellow pollen.  The stamps also become part of the art as I try to match either colors or themes with the envelope.
